Holistic House Mind-Body...Eastern-Western As a chronic pain survivor, or in knowing someone who is, you may have discovered that living with chronic pain can sometimes be an enormous burden to bear both physically and emotionally...and for some, the enormity permeates every aspect of life - all day, every day. The cold, sometimes harsh realities of chronic pain are such that if solution and cure were that simple to establish and secure...the notion then of chronic pain would perhaps be a concept no more. Fortunately, the emergence of multidisciplinary approaches in search of relief and wellness, is taking front and center stage for many, and some chronic pain survivors are jumping on the bandwagon. The choices are plentiful and run the gamut from conventional western approaches such as medication, surgery, biofeedback, injections, physical therapy, etc., to eastern approaches such as acupuncture, homeopathy, mind-body healing, herbs, polarity work, etc. These days, eastern approaches are becoming ever more mainstream and are viable options for those chronic pain survivors seeking pain relief and overall healing. Some alternative approaches are being integrated into conventional medicine and gaining acceptance. Clinical trials are ongoing in an effort to scientifically assess their viability. There are many with profound allegiance to eastern health-care and its efficacy. Just as strong perhaps, are those who believe much of this is mere nonsense and not worth the time, money and effort invested by those seeking chronic pain relief. There are also some who believe all pain and disease is a result of emotional pain and unhealed psychic wounds...that is, that what manifests in the body in the form of pain or illness, is really the soul's way of crying out for help...the body being just a vehicle for this. The bottom line is, it's up to you to investigate options and determine which approaches might be avenues for you in your quest for relief and better life quality. |
